Sad to hear that the Pollokshaws Parish Church on Shawbridge St has suffered a major fire overnight. One of the last remaining fragments of old Pollokshaws, it was built in 1843 as Pollokshaws Original Secession Church.

Sauchiehall St, snapped in glorious colour in 1954. This well-heeled lady is standing near the corner where Antipasti is today. On the right is Greek Thomson's Grecian Chambers of 1868, now home to the CCA.

Christmas shopping, 1900-style, at Copland & Lye on Sauchiehall St. It had lost its decorative ironwork and corner clock tower by the time it was demolished in the 1970s to make way for the atrocious Sauchiehall Centre.

You might be off out Christmas shopping this weekend, but you'll be hard pushed to find a shop wearing its Christmas finery any better than House of Fraser back in 1981 😍

More shots of the city in 1975, featuring extensive footage of tenement demolition contrasted with new high rises in the Gorbals. Even then they were riddled with damp and mold, and they'd be demolished in 1993, just 28 years after the first residents moved in.

A throwback to December 2020 and a view that's sadly now much altered. Looking towards the remnants of the Victoria Infirmary. Those elegant cupolas to the right were torn down in February 2022 as the demolition of James Sellars' 1888 ward block got underway.

Seeing as it's the 1st December I think we can get away with some Christmas decorations. Here they are on Gordon St, looking from Union St on a glorious sunny day in 1975, with the Ca d'Oro on the right.

Not Glasgow, but a few festive snaps from the idyllic town of Pitlochry yesterday. It's so shortbread tin pretty that I half expected an atrocious Netflix Christmas movie to be getting filmed as I turned every corner 😂

A happy St Andrew's Day to one and all.
Let's kick off with Eglinton Toll (aka St Andrew's Cross) with the famous Star Bar on the ground floor. Ken Manners may have moved on, but you can still find the cheapest 3 course lunch in the city behind these doors.

Looking along Battlefield Rd, late 50s. In the distance we can see the Victoria Infirmary and Battlefield Rest. On the left is the Tonic cinema, now the site of a Sainsbury's. That middle tenement is rather wonky so it's no surprise that it was truncated.

Scenes from Glasgow in 1975, featuring the city centre and the M8. The contrast between tenement demolition and the new motorways and Anderston Centre is presumably meant to illustrate progress.

This week's Friday pub is the Hayburn Vaults in Partick. Built in 1904 by George Bell for spirit merchants Robert Anderson & Co, it's named after the Hay Burn, a stream which runs through old Partick. It was renamed Deoch an Dorus by owners Michael and Laura O'Hare in 2011.

After yesterday's image of the bridge, here are three different views of Partickhill Station.
First the original Partickhill Station in 1912. It was opened in 1887 by the North British Railway, but was completely rebuilt in 1958 for the electrification of the Glasgow North Side suburban railways.
